POWER STATION LOCATION AND DESIGN

183

ment of Equipment.—The most convenient arrange-
sparatus and wiring in a power station is greatly influ-
)cal conditions. A good idea of such arrangement may
id from Fig. 65 which represents a transverse section
te boiler and engine room of a typical power station
rocating engines direct connected to alternators, water-
's, and jet condensers. A similar section through the
)n switch house is shown in Fig. 68. A plan view
tigine station will be found in Fig. 69, while Fig. 70
iction of the turbine station of the Indianapolis and
Railway Company at Rushville, Indiana.
Power Station Equipped.—Complete power stations
uildings, but not cost of land, may be estimated to cost
>5 and $150 per kilowatt of rated output, depending
laborateness of design and the addition of mechanical
.g and safety devices. Occasionally the above mini-
i may be greatly reduced, as was the case of the rather
.ble-decked station of the Fort Wayne and Northern
ail way Company, Fig. 71, located in Fort Wayne,
hose detailed costs listed in Table XXIII are taken
